I created the scene wiht 6.21 and open with 6.20. But I opened with 6.21 my old scene that created with 6.18 and my scene is turn darker. Should I use old 6.20 ?

Hi,
Another problem with 6.21. When I add the bitmap node, 6.21 is crashing.

I had to upgrade in the midlle of two production from v3 to v4 because of the bug with nvdia drivers not able to render big size renders.

Now i'm in a very bad position with V4:

1/ itoo forest crash if movable proxy enable.

2/ hair and fur crash even on a simple sphere with basic hair and fur.

I setup a forest (itoo forest) with a dog (hair and fur).
They are main decor and main character.

What can i do to be able to deliver my animation in time ?
This is very urgent.

Hi thekwen,
try 436.48 I hope it helps; new Ornatrix and FP support is in Octane V2018/2019 OctaneRender setting > Tool > Open Octane Global Preferences > Sipport.
In V4.x you could try edit your setting in OctaneRender setting > Tool > Open Octane Global Preferences > Trouble shooting

Drivers update didn't do anything.
I don't know with what settings i must play in troubleshooting.

I really can't understand that we have release with such bug.
At each releases some features works and other don't work anymore, this is just inacceptable.
Don't you have a sample scene with all max basic features to test all release ?
Hair and fur is part of 3dsmax, not a plugin, not a toy, but a useful tool for professionnal workers.
I don't need and i don't want ornatrix.
I just want 3dsmax basic features to work from an octane version to another.Is it too much asking ?

Today i'm in a middle of production, i loose two day of work trying to setup octane and drivers to get what is expected from a render.
I must fight for itoo forest to work, i need hair and fur to work (i spent 2 weeks doing my dog, i have client validation on it and now i can't use it anymore).
I need to make big size render and animation for the same production.
I'm not gonna switch v3 and v4 on the same files !!!

Imagine this on your car, hey man you can't turn left anymore update to v4 !
Hey man you can turn left but not right anymore !
But hey don't worry you can bought a new car from the same manufacturer to turn right and left ! Aren't you confident with us now ?

This is exactly what happens with octane ...

I don't even know if update to 2019 correct the hair and fur bug, i don't even what new bugs i will face (itoo compatibility, movable proxy error, xref broken !!!????)

I need a strong solution and i need it two days ago.

Thanks

Hi thekwen,
My personal advice, when you are in a professional workflow does not install new software versions. This generally prevents unforeseen events.
Said that, hair and fur seems to work, I dowloaded a FP sample file and rendered, it seems to works too.
Try to take a look about my setting into the screenshot,
